{Asymmetrical Variance} = fitness training technique which taps into the body’s natural movement patterns *instead* of forcing it to move in un-natural ways, usually seen in common health clubs – especially on typical exercise machines
In this recent video, me and Belinda Benn demonstrate 5 AV body-weight, upper-body exercises. I do the advanced version and she then does the intermediate version of each move.
The 5 AV Exercises Are:
1 – AV Inverted Row
2 – AV Dips
3 – AV Shoulder Press
4 – AV Push-ups
5 – AV Pull-ups

Ok – So, What’s the Big Deal About Asymmetrical Variance?
Asymmetrical Variance (AV) taps into the body’s natural multi-dimensional movement patterns instead of forcing it into rigid, 2-dimensional movements which is typical of conventional gym equipment and generic fitness routines.
AV creates deeper and faster muscle stimulation to produce changes to your body in shorter amounts of time – and with less stress and strain on your body. AV allows you to take a basic body-weight exercise, such as the push-up; for example – and then apply the principle of natural AV body movements to create several exercise variations of that one body-weight exercise.
With the variety in muscle pattern movement and fiber recruitment – the training effect happens with less training volume and less repetition of similar movements. So, for what you’d get out of a typical ‘weights & machines’ type workout in 7 or 8 sets – you’d accomplish in 3 or 4 sets via AV training (and, with less repetitions too).
Less reps and sets means shorter workout times and major reductions in joint aches and overuse injuries. All while getting results in shorter time spans.
Yes – VERY sweet…
Got some thoughts or comments about the video or the AV Technique of fitness training? Then post below, please…
You may remember, just over a year ago, I introduced you to a new friend, Belinda Benn. Since then we’ve developed a powerful friendship and synergistic working relationship…
Not long after we crossed paths, Bel started working on a BIG project – and asked me for some assistance along the way. Our complementary philosophies and styles made it a natural fit.
She Reveals Her Secret
What she has done over the last 10 months is something most people would never even attempt to acheive – BUT, her passion to help others and her own personal transformation are so powerful, it would’ve be an absolute sin for her to keep this all a secret.
Watch the video below to hear her reveal part of her amazing “Aging In Reverse” story and then go here to see the amazing photos with the other 6 stories of “Aging In Reverse” INCLUDING Bel’s own younger sister, Alison. The before and after photos start about 1/4 down the page – BUT do NOT miss Bel’s “before photos toward the top – so you can actually see the proof of “Aging In Reverse”, starting with her own personal example..
See you here – and please share today’s blog post with anyone you know who can use the inspiration and helpful information.
Your Trainer for Life,
– Joey Atlas
ps – if you have any questions for Bel, please feel free to post them here for her: http://www.BelsBodyBlog.com
Today I give YOU 3 gifts to celebrate my 42nd Birthday:
1 – a fresh piece of wisdom 2 – a super-sweet discount code 3 – a mega-powerful fitness flashback
First the wisdom:
As my life progresses – the things which are most important to me become more and more clear. And I honor those things as best can by feeding them and nurturing them the best ways I know how.
One of the things which has become extremely important to me is… my time.
I’ve made a consistent effort to objectively look at all the ways I spend my time and energy. And I’ve made note of the various things which are time-wasters and energy drains. And then I’ve created simple steps to reduce or eliminate those things…
Within one year – I have freed up so much time and energy; both physical AND MENTAL – that I actually feel stronger, healthier, happier, more fulfilled and MORE IN CONTROL of my life and my circumstances…
Here’s an example:
I’ve put most of my monthly bills on autopay. This means they get paid automatically. No work or time on my part. I simple do a “quick-look” view twice a month to make sure nothing fishy is going on. …Big TIME and ENERGY saver.
That is just the tip of the ice-berg but I’m sure if you read it again, and think about it – you’ll begin to make sense of what I’m sharing.
This is a bigger topic for another day – maybe even a whole podcast series – but; whichever way I cut it – it has been, and is, powerfully life-changing for me… In a VERY positive way. ..Maybe it can be for you too?
Second – the super-sweet discount code (and why you may want to use it):
The code is: bday15
And it is to celebrate Jayson’s daughter’s birthday (yep – same as mine!! by giving you 15% off anything in the prograde store. You might want to use it for what I’ve just added to my nutritional regimen:
This time of year gets VERY busy for me with lots of soccer for the kids and beach time just a week or two away… This means it’s time to implement my time-saving strategies I mention above. And this is one of them…
On days when I can get to all the fruits and veggies I would like to – I simple make sure I get one serving of my Big Green Secret Weapon in – and I’m good to go. Like gold.
I usually do it in the morning right after my espresso and it actually helps to shift my food calories to later in the day – helping me to get leaner and more “toned” for our very long and fun summer/beach season here in northern Florida.
1 look at the All-Natural ingredients label and you’ll know why this is part of my overall “plan”:
DISCOUNT CODE: bday15
In my 20’s I wouldn’t have bothered with this type of supplement – but know that I’m into the 40’s – it’s a perfect fit for what my body needs – for my active lifestyle – and for how much more life I am planning to live in the future.
If you want to see the rest of my nutritional support regimen – I’ve made it a part of my third gift to you:
The mega-powerful fitness flashback – which is my birthday post from one year ago:
A little ways back, in a previous e-newsletter I mentioned the creamy protein ice-cream I was testing out, and a lot of subscribers have been emailing to find out more about it…
So – here is a photo of me kissing my chocolate FitFreeze Ice-Cream today, on Valentine’s Day
Right now it’s only available to ship to the 4 countries listed and they are VERY busy getting these samples out today!
Here are just a few reasons why I LOVE this “fitness ice-cream”
1 – No Guilt: you can eat this every night knowing you are not screwing up your fitness and nutrition efforts (yes – very sneaky but very sweet!)
2 – Naturally Sweetened: Stevia is the, zero-calorie, herbal sweetener used in the recipe to tame your sweet tooth. This means no metabolism wrecking chemical sweeteners are needed (LOVE that!)
3: Fiber Enhanced: Getting enough fiber in our diets today is always a challenge but FitFreeze has a nice dose from flaxseed powder.
4: Protein Fortified: 15 grams of body toning, muscle-strengthening protein in each serving. Combined with the fiber content this works wonders in killing cravings and wiping out hunger pains. Priceless.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Michael and I’m the newest member of Team Atlas.
I’ve been made a member of the team to help manage the growing popularity and increasing demand of your favorite personal trainer and fitness coach, Joey Atlas.
As word of Joey, and the uncanny effectiveness of his fitness methods, continue to spread to people all over the world – it is my job to help keep everyone informed of all which is happening here in ‘AtlasVille’, by translating all that Joey writes, into ctrystal clear audio podcasts which you can listen to anywhere, anytime on any device you choose.
And yes, this is even in iTunes which you can tune into via the Odiogo link over there on the right…
My first assignment with Team Atlas is to give you a current summary update of the soon to be released MAG-Factor Fitness Coaching System from Joey and Jack.
So – let’s get to it.
Here is a screenshot of the most recent MAG-Factor preview update video we posted just a few days ago. The only people who have been able to see this incredible footage are those of you who added yourself to the MAG-Factor VIP list.

You won’t lose me, don’t worry. A new page will open so I can keep talking here and you can do what you need to do on that page and then come back here to continue…

And once you get to the page, you’ll see how to get on the VIP early notice list, then once you add yourself, we will send you the link to the most recent video with the latest MAG-Factor preview update.
Here is the second MAG-Factor preview update video we posted last week. This highlights one of several powerful options you will have access to as a MAG Fitness Private Client. Even though some clients may not be interested in this feature of the system, others have been begging us for this, so we are building it into the system to use, only if you choose to. Watch the preview here:
Below is the very first MAG-Factor preview update video we posted a few weeks ago. You’ll want to watch this one because it shows you one of the primary functions of the MAG Factor Fitness System. But, remember, this is only a preview. The real version is going to look much cooler and function very smoothly.
Now, I’d like to ask you a great question…
Do you see the colorful buttons just below here?
There’s a facebook share button, a Tweet button, 2 other Share buttons, a facebook ‘Like’ button and a Google plus button.
Those are there to make it dead easy for you to help spread the word about the MAG Factor Fitness System which is set to go live on January 2nd, 2012.
Please use the buttons to share this post with your friends, your family, your co-workers and your in-laws. They will thank you many times over, and so will we.
And after that, all I ask is for one small, but fun, favor.
Could you please just take a few seconds to let me, Joey, Jack and the rest of the Atlas Team what you think about me doing the voice recording for most of Joey’s public blog posts and articles?
And, of course, if you have any thoughts, questions or comments about The MAG-Factor Fitness Coaching System, please, please, please – just type those below also.
We would all love to hear from you…
